Your pet’s new best friend!

Pet care experience

I'm a Bucknell graduate and I studied animal behavior, so I'm really good at training and managing animals. I believe I’m extremely trustworthy and accommodating. I’m willing to take care of any pets and I’ve even taken care of geckos! Please check out my IG for examples (@TheFur11)! You’ll probably find a picture of your pet there. I started a company in PA, where I provided pet services and it was a hit! I loved taking care of all my furry friends and I enjoy continuing to do so. I work remote since 2020, so I have open availability during the day. I have officially moved to Deanwood, DC. Now, I'm able to offer daycare services - but daycare only accounts for 9 hours of service (~8:30-5:30pm). Unless specifically stated that your dog cannot interact with others, your dog may be joined by another animal. Please let me know if there are any issues with multiple animals in the house at once and I’d be happy to accommodate.

Nicole was an outstanding sitter. Our pup sometimes has big feelings and likes to bark - she handled it well and he became very comfortable with her quickly. We were grateful to know that he was in good hands and given lots of attention and care.

Nicole is an ideal pet sitter. We have only left our cat Genny for one day since we adopted her earlier this year. Nicole's willingness to meet in person before we left town for Thanksgiving immediately put our minds at ease. Heartily agree with the other review calling Nicole a cat whisperer; the photos she sent showed that our shy cat loved having her visit. We will certainly rebook in the future.

Nicole was amazing with our elderly cat during a recent trip. She was super communicative and dependable. We are so happy that we found her, and we will definitely book with her again.

Nicole is truly a cat whisperer! One of our cats really doesn’t like strangers but she somehow charmed him on the first visit!
